I was in a yoga class earlier this month where the instructor talked of a metaphor she had heard. Basically, she told us about how when you pick an apple and taste it and realize it’s gone bad, you don’t think about the apple being the cause for the sour/bad taste. Instead you think of the tree, where it’s planted, if it’s in the right soil, if it’s gotten enough sunlight. The tree must be taken care of to produce the best-quality apples it can produce. Just like we must take time to help ...

hellooooooooo 2017

January 1, 2017 ·

2016 was an amazing year, filled with some pretty incredible things. I went to my first Paralympic Games in Rio, which in and of itself was beyond describable: The people of Rio made for some extraordinary fans/spectators, many of which went out of their way to make us all feel welcomed in their country. The scenery was spectacular, and sometimes downright breathtaking. And I got to share the experience with my best friend – my husband. If that wasn’t enough, though, I came home with two bronze ...

it’s been a year already?!

October 30, 2016 ·

I remember this time last year I was beyond excited that Andrew and I were within single digits of our wedding day. Beyond excited to see my family flying in to California, take a mini vacation to Santa Barbara, and meet our wonderful vendors β€” Evermoore Films, Grace Kathryn Photography, Selena Marie Weddings & Events and Blue Agave (now Nectar Eatery & Lounge) β€” face-to-face. It was an amazing time and an even more amazing day. A time that will always hold that special place in my ...

4 miles per hour and a max heart rate of 198

September 24, 2016 ·

What I remember the most about the 2016 Paralympic Games road race is the hills. The road course consisted of three laps of the 15K time trial course before we headed out for a 30K-ish loop with grueling hills and a twisty descent. The race itself started out relatively calm. A couple of the women tried to attack before the three flat laps were completed, and one break stuck for less than a mile before it was pulled back somewhere along the third lap. Once we reached the end of the time ...

make that two-time paralympic bronze medalist

September 14, 2016 ·

I thought the nerves wouldn’t be as bad for my time trial after earning my bronze medal in the 3K on the first day of competition. But this was the event I had spent the last two months exclusively focused on. I practically put my life on hold, foregoing school and work in order to dedicate my time and efforts to training. And now the day was finally here. Jen Schuble and I were taken to a hotel right by the start/finish late the night before. So while out of the routine I had developed at ...
